Cushing Board of Education will hold their regular meeting, Thursday, June 9th at 7 p.m. in the Administrative Offices Board Room located at 1401 N. Little Avenue in Cushing.

The agenda includes the possible action on the employment of Stephen H. McDonald & Associates, Inc. as Financial Advisor to assist the District in obtaining lease-purchase financing of certain real property and to consider and possibly take action on a resolution approving the lease-purchase of real property.

Recently Superintendent Koln Knight disclosed the Board was considering purchasing property that could possibly be used to build a new middle school as part of the shift to the creation of grade centers.

Grade centers would place students in the same grades at the same location.

Also on the agenda, the board will go into executive session to discuss several resignations and possible employment of staff before reconvening to open session.

Board meetings are open to the public.

Here is the complete agenda for Thursday’s meeting:
